registering dll's

Hello-
I am running XP Pro, and I have trtied registering anout 8 seperate dll's lately, and none have been successful.
I always get the error:

xxxx.dll was loaded, but the DLLRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered.

I am trying to register the dll's in my Command Prompt using
> regsvr32 xxxxx.dll

Does any body have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks so much-
Mac

I dunno about XP ... but if you've got Visual Studio on your system, try looking at the DLLs with the Dependency Walker, to see if they have the function at all.

You can't use regsvr32 if the DLL is not an Active-X DLL. Quite a few DLLs are not active-x DLLs and don't have to be registered. All you have to do is make sure that the DLLs in question are in a place that can be found by your application (usually in the same directory as the application or in a Windows System directory). This is true whether you're using Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP whatever.
